ok, so my tires showed up last night! I got the Good Year F1 GS - D3's 275/40/17. Man the tread pattern looks so damn cool!!!!!

My MM Sub Frame's Showed up last week.

And my brakes showed up last week around the same time as the Sub Frames.


So now i have all this stuff sitting in my garage...but i dont have the time to put any of it on!!!!

(Tires, Sub Frames, Front brake rotors, pads and SS lines, Rear brake rotors, calipers, pads etc)


I think im going to hold off on the rear brakes until till next month. Cuse i got the rear cobra kit and i guess i have to pull out the axle's. So im thinking....Why not just upgrade to some Moser 31 spline's and a FRPP Torsen while i'm at it right?

So i think im going to try and get my tires and front brakes done on sunday...


Sooooooooo i was reading on here that the sub fames need to be welded in while the car is sitting on a special type of lift? Just as if it was sitting on the ground right?

Cuse my friend has a welder, but he does not have a lift in his garage. I'm wondering if i should pay a shop to weld them in for me. Cuse he will do it for free....


thanks SN :SNSign:

your supposed to have full wieght of the car on the wheels when the subs are welded in, so a drive on lift would be fine.

brakes are a 2 maybe 3hr job with bleeding (if you have a friend to help)
